So I’ve been doing a fair number of automated load tests these
past six months. Primarily with Sysbench, which is a fine, fine
tool. First I started using some simple bash based loop controls
to automate my overnight testing, but as usually happens with
shell scripts they grew unwieldy and I rewrote them in python.
Now I have some flexible and easily configurable code for
sysbench based MySQL benchmarking to offer the community. I’ve
always been a fan of giving back to such a helpful group of
people – you’ll never hear me complain about “my time isn’t
free”. So, let me know what you want in an ideal testing
environment (from a load testing framework automation standpoint)
and I’ll integrate it into my existing framework and then release
it via the BSD license. The main goal here is to have a
standardized modular framework, based on sysbench, that allows
anyone to compare their server performance via repeatable tests.
It’s fun to see …
